Set Me Free

Set me free, set me free

I need a little more room to breathe

And the freedom to do what I please

Mama set me freeSet me free, set me free

Let me see what I can see

Have mercy on a boy like me

Mama set me freeDrop me off on a mountaintop somewhere

Well I'll point 'em down and say my prayers

No one understands it, maybe they don't care

We're only here because it's thereSet me free, set me free

I wanna be what I can be

City livin' ain't livin' to me

Mama set me freeSet me free, set me free

Let me see what I can see

Have mercy on a boy like me

Mama set me freeWell I'll go where people don't go

Where the iron horses don't roll

High above the sea of gray below

The great mystery and the cold wind blowsSet me free, set me free

I need a little more room to breathe

And the freedom to do what I please

Mama set me freeSet me free, set me free

Let me see what I can be

Have mercy on a boy like me

Mama set me freeHave mercy on a boy like me

Mama set me free

Have mercy on a boy like me

Mama set me free
